Subj: [kl] air leak through nose problem
Date: Fri, 14 Sep 2001 12:24:50 -0400

I have a student who has developed an air leak through his nose after he is
playing 45 minutes. I have heard of this problem with other wind players.
Does anyone know more or know where I could get more information about this
problem and possible solutions? This also happened after he played a total
of 6 hours in one 24 hour period with rehearsals and practice. He never had
this happen before. I told him to limit his practice time to 1/2 hour and
take hour breaks in between and to stop practicing if this occurs again.
